Merry & Bright Emboss Resist Technique
Hello everyone!. The card that I have for today is a very different Christmas card. It is different because I used non traditional colors and maybe some images from Skipping Stones Designs that you don’t see more frequently.
To create this card I used the Merry & Bright stamp set. This is a small set that came with two snowflakes and a beautiful sentiment. I stamped the snowflakes randomly over a whisper white cardstock piece using Versamark and White Embossing Powder. After melt the powder I applied three different colors of Distress Ink around of the snow flakes to develop the emboss resist technique. I used Pickled Raspberry, Blueprint Sketch and Seedless Preserves.
When I was satisfied with the coloring I sprayed the stamped layer with Shimmer Spritz to activate the ink and obtain the sparkle effect at the same time. I pasted the layer over a Whisper White card base.
To finalize the decoration and create a big contrast of colors, I stamped the sentiment included on the set Merry & Bright in a separate piece of whisper white with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it like a banner. I created a mat for this piece using Elegant Eggplant cardstock and pasted over the card with double sided foam tape.
